To all whom it may concern:

Be itknoWn that I, CARL SCHUBERT, tailor, a citizen of Germany, residing at No. 13 Breitestrasse, Dresden, in the Kingdom of Saxony, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in the System of Measuring and Cutting lNearing-Apparel; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same..

My invention relates to a new and improved method for the measuring and cutting of Wearing-apparel, arranged according to the decimal system; and the object of this method is to produce a system ot' charts for the measuring and cutting of Wearing-apparel, more especially ladies dresses and body-linen, in an easier manner than has been the ease heretofore, so that inexperienced dressmakers or tailors can easily learn how to take the measure of persons and cut the material for making ladies Weari 11g-apparel, so that they shall be Well-iitting, and, finally, to accomplish this in an expeditious and easy manner.

The invention consists in a new method for the measuring and cutting ot the material for Wearing-apparel according to charts divided and laid out according to the decimal system, as will be more fully described hereinafter, and specifically pointed out in the claim, reference being had tothe accompany ing drawings, and the letters of reference marked thereon.

In the drawings, Figure l represents an auxiliary measure. Fig. 2 is a View showing the method of determining the point for cutting a ladys jacket. Fig. 3 is a view showing the method of determining the points for measuring a ladys jacket. Fig. 4t is a View et' a cut of a ladys jacket, produced of cutting and measuring points. Fig. 5 is a View of a cut oi a ladys jacket with the points of the controlling-measures drawn` The auxiliary measure necessary in employing this method consists ot' a rectangular triangle, in which the small side measures twenty-tive and the other side fifty centimeters, both of said sides being provided with centimetrical divisions, as Will be seen in Fig. 1 et the drawings.

The method consists, mainly, in the development of the drawing for the cut-out of a square, Whose size will be determined by a measure taken from the body-such as the upper Width of the breast for the Wearingapparel for covering the upper part of the body and the Width of the hips for the covering of the lower limbs.

For the better illustration of this method and to better explain the saine, the manner of determining the points out of Which the outlines of the cut is determined, Figs. 2, 3, and 4 of the drawings are represented for a cer- 65 tain piece of Wearing-apparel and for a certain measure or cut, and, as an example, a ladys jacket is taken for a measured upper width ot eighty-eight centimeters, in the following manner:

A square a l) c (il is iirst drawn, whose sides al), be, ad, and (la are each half of the upper Width taken, being therefore forty-four centimeters long. Draw from a to c and b to d the diagonal lines, which cross each other at the center m and bisect the square. Then the auxiliary measure e f g is laid with its pointed angle placed to the corners a, l), c, and d of the square, (see Fig. 2,) so that the hypotenuse of the auxiliary measure is to- Se Ward the inner side or cent-er of the square, and draw with the hypotenuse of the auxiliary measure the lines f, g, f', g', f2, g2, and f3, g3, which bisect each other at the points s and s2. The centralpoint m. forms the center of the arm-pit, the cutting-point s the nipple, the point s2 the highest point of the shoulder-bone, and the corner (l of the square the position ofv the navel in the flat drawing of the formation of the body, as seen in 9o Figs. 2 and et of the drawings. These points haring now been obtained, the triangles el: fa gl? 621 f): .(/21 53a fl g2: @4a .Ic/2 g4: @'55 fl g" and e, f', g are drawn in the square u, b c d, the auxiliary measure being placed in the center with the pointed angle f extending with the hypotenuse over the corners a, I), c, and (l of the square. (See Figs. 3 and il.) On the lines f g thus obtained the tenth part of a side of the square. roo

is marked eight times to obtain the point 01,' and so on f e once to obtain the point o, and six times to obtain n; on f e ive times to obtain n2; onf g tive times to obtain n3; on j" e3 twice to obtain o', and live times to obtain n4; on f e4 three times to obtain 02', and four times to obtain 0"; onf g4 twice to obtain 03, and seven times to obtain 0'2; on f e5 once to obtain o4, twice to obtain m5, and tive times to obtain 03; on f e three times to obtain 06, and onf g four to obtain 0'5, and six times to obtain 0'". Then 07;l is connected with 02', and the auxiliary measure is placed with point g on m and also onf e5, so that theline 0r* o2 is out by the hypotenuse, in doing which the point o2 is obtained. Then the auX- iliary measure is moved on f e5 to the point 03, and the line 03 0; is drawn, measuring upon this line four-tenths of a side ot the square to obtain 0", and then by taking r2 as a center and striking the are of a circle with a radius of four-tenths of the side of the square and in like manner striking an are from 01 with a radius of one-tenth of the side of the square the point of intersection of these arcs will be the point 0'?, as shown in Figs. 3 and The points thus obtained, viz., 0L, 01", n2, 013, n", o2, o', o, o4, 03, and a5, connected together give principally the shape of the front part, and the points 0*, 0"', r2, 0'3, 0'4, 05, and fr give the shape of the rear part. In order t-o inish the shape, it is only necessary to ascertain the height of the waist and the center ot the Waist.

The correctness of the cut thus obtained can easily be ascertained by measuring on the body the width of the breast, back, hips, half of the height of the shoulder and the en` tire height. of the shoulder, the bust in front and back, and then to examine the measures obtained in the cut-Ariz., the width of the breast from Z to u', the width of the back from t to u, the hips from x to y', a," to y', r2 to y2, and x3 to g3, halt the height of the shoulder from 0"2 to 0" and In to 7c, the front ot the bust from 0L to q and q2 to q, and the back part q to q', from q2 to Q3, and fromq4 to 0'2, as will be readily seen in Fig. 5. The shape of the sleeve results in the same manner from the half-width of the breast.

This method has the essential advantage over other systems that the designer ascertains at once the positions of the points rela: tively to one another in the drawing, so that the drawing of the cut is always correct,

whereas in the systems hitherto used the tailor can seldom obtain suitable designs, because the diliiculty is to ascertain correctly the exact position of single points to one another; for although the design may appear correct according to the measures taken it will appear distorted, which fault can only be remedied bytrying on and iittin g tothe bodyan operation much objected to by many persons.

That I claim as my invention is- The method set forth of cutting wearing-apparel, the same consisting in developing the design from a diagram of a square the sides of which correspond in length with one-half the measurement of the body, such as the waist measurement, laying onc upon the square on its interior surface a series of right-angled triangles, each having a base of twentyfive centimeters and a perpendicular of fifty centimeters, the smaller angles being placed at the angles of the square and the perpenof the triangles, then laying oif a series of equal and similar right-angled triangles having their smaller angles meet-ing at the center of the square and the hypotenuse of each passing through the angles of the square and the perpendiculars intersecting both the Aadjacent sides of the square, laying off upon the lines thus formed the decimal parts of one side of the square, as set forth, laying off a right-angled triangle with one of its acute angles at the center of the square, and the base thereof coinciding with one of the perpendiculars intersecting the side of the square, laying ofi' the decimal measurement set forth upon the hypotenuse of said triangle, erecting a line upon the perpendicular which intersects the side of the square, striking from one angle of the square as a center an arc with a radius of four-tenths of the side of the square, and from the point 0" an arc havinga radius of one-tenth of said side, thus establishing the point 017 and connecting the cuttingpoints in the manner set forth, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
